Do anyone know anything about Tenth Jackpot International Sweepstakes?
Look at the questions I have answered on this site in my info. There are so many winners there could not be enough money to pay them all.There is no International Lottery.This is a Nigeria scam. Yahoo/MSN, U.K. and Australian lotteries, football lotteries from the same counties, Global-Link, World Poverty, Microsoft, Free Lotto, which now seems to have it's own people answering gambling questions on this site claiming they have won which is a total lie, and hundreds more. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet scams and frauds. This is an old one. The common link to them getting your email is on line surveys. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away nor does it give it's email subscribers address's to lotteries. The only way to win in a lottery is to buy a ticket, if you didn't you could not possibly win. Here is the website of the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. You may file a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov. Also go to www.ripoffreport.com and browse complaints and you will find many having the same doubts as yourself about these scams. Below is a typical scam and how they work it. They just go under a thousand different names. They are asking you to send a prepayment to collect your winnings and they want you to send it by a money wire service. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of thin air, and just so happen to have your email also. No Internet service provider gives their email list out to lotteries. If you did not pay to play you could not possibly win.

Reply:If you ever get an email telling you that you won money, delete it.





There are two reasons to have a lottery. One is to take in money from ticket sales, make a profit (for charity and for the organizers), and give back about half the money in prizes.





The other reason is to publicize a company. Something like when McDonald's has a million dollar sweepstakes (that actually only pays about $30,000 per year after tax for 25 years or similar).





Such a promotion is always heavily publicized and requires you to specifically enter the competition.





Those are the two basic ways that money is given away. The former is given to those who PAY to buy a ticket. The latter encourages people to do something, even though it may not be mandatory, it's generally some kind of publicity thing.





Simply picking your email address out of a hat and sending you a million dollars, just makes no sense. There would be no practical or realistic reason why this should ever happen. The company doing it would simply be giving money away for no good reason.





Any time you get an email telling you you won something, they either want you to impart some kind of personal information they can use to rip you off, or they want you to send them some money (taxes on the winnings or some other excuse), just to keep you money.





In any case, unless you actually signed up for a sweepstakes, or paid to enter a lottery it's a con.
